The Secret of the Winged

CHAPTER THREE

"What is your problem butt face?" Exclaimed Tammy. "He's- we are- I and him- same Leaf" Coraline stuttered. "So what? Isn't that like your dream come true?" Tammy grinned at her best friend. "Besides, it's not like he knows that you like him-unless of course you told him the way you stutter when you see someone cute." Tammy said matter-of-factly. Coraline glared at her and said,"no but oh man I can't handle this" they were cut short by a thundering of students coming out of the hall, chatting and laughing. Emerys caught up with Coraline and put an arm around her shoulders and said,"hey, let's get to class" and smiled down at her. While Coraline blushed a deep shade of crimson.

"Good morning everyone! My name is Professor Gwendawich Wazouski but you can call me Gwen. Now class, today we are going to make the Draught of Living Death but before we start we are supposed to switch in pairs, so hurry up everyone and find your partner," said Professor Gwendawich.
And then happened what Coraline had never expected would ever happen, Emerys asked to pair up with her and led her to a table far back, "so that no one bothers us", he had said with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. Coraline stared at him with her eyes wide and blushed. "What is he doing?" She thought to herself.
An hour after brewing and cutting the strange sample used to make the draught, the bell rang and everyone got up to leave. Professor Gwen glared at everyone and screeched," how dare you stand up in my presence?" Everyone stood where they were and looked back at her. Nobody knew what to say, she took the moment and gave us detention. "Great, just great," said Emerys scowling. Coraline looked at him and grinned,"At least I'm here or else you would have been bored to death!" Emerys chuckled softly and hugged her,"yeah,well at least." After a moment of an awkward silence Emerys spoke up saying," Hey Cori?do you know anything about Vilderfern Death?" Coralline felt a shiver run down her spine-she knew she had heard that name somewhere,it was almost familiar,yet not. She shook her head saying,"No, but I can ask around." Emerys,wide-eyed,"no-no that's ok, you don't need to do that," with that he scampered out of class. "Weird," thought Coralline, staring after him.
